Did It Herself

She may not love that I'm posting these less than artistic blackberry photos...But I've been missing out on my own DIYsand thought I'd share some of the AMAZING ones Ashley did...

I wish I had befores.So you could see how great these afters are...

they snagged this lamp for $FREE.99

a little glue and tom's steady spray paint hand restored it to it's original grandeur

then some ribbon (and i think some hot glue)

made a plain white shade something tres anthro-esque.

she grabbed these drop-seat chairs for a steal at an antique show in ogden, for something like HALF of what they were originally asking. they were covered in a hideous silver paint, and worn pink fabric. some black laquer and adorable fabric from calico corners (and a touch of help from mama j, but i wasn't supposed to tell nobody) .... AND

My New Years Resolution:Have more patience to complete a worthwhile DIY.[one that might take more than a few hours]
